Great experience

My experience with Christian Schank was great. I needed last minute representation for a domestic violence restraining order trial and so I called into his office. After doing a consultation, I hired him and he successfully defended the restraining order and was legit in court. He is a very skilled ...attorney. He was very aggressive in court and I could tell that is where he excels. All in all, I was stoked to have Mr. Schank as my attorney.

Do your research or pay for no result

Perhaps the worst experience I’ve ever had with a lawyer. First thing to touch on, the rates are absurd $325 for an email? Secondly do not expect any actual work to get done, there’s a reason they want you to pay up front, they are in no way going to try to close the case but rather they just want t...o financially take every penny they have. I took one good review and unfortunately listened to that. After talking with some other prior clients I am now aware what I read online for good reviews are likely fraud. Double and triple check all options before you go with this lawyer or you’ll pay a lot for no results.

Brilliant

I don't think I can find the words to describe Mr. Schank and what he did for my children and I. Nearly six years of my children and I being bullied in the courtroom. Every single road block stacked against us. Mr. Schank came into my case after four other attorney's did nothing but waste money. Mr. ...Schank got results. He was relentless and doesn't give up. He is ethical, smart, and I felt he really cared about my kids and I. If you have a high conflict case, where you keep getting stepped on, he is the attorney for you. I had not had a good night sleep for 6 years until Mr. Schank took over my case. My nightmares are over and my children for the first time are going to get to voice their opinion. Not only is Mr. Schank the best lawyer I have ever seen, his office staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I felt like a person when speaking with them and not a dollar sign. I got the sense that the entire office was pulling for my kids and I. There is no better lawyer than Christian Schank. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

DO NOT USE THIS FIRM

I hired this law firm to represent me during my divorce. I paid them close to 10k and they did nothing. I had multiple paralegals switch in and out of my case because they could not keep their staff employed. Each time they would charge me to review my case. Additionally, they switched my attorneys o...ut multiple times without notifying me because the attorneys either quit or were fired by the law firm. My divorce should have taken no more than a year to finalize because we had no mutual assets or children involved and yet it took over 2 years to complete. In the end they closed their Oakland office or so they said and transferred my file to their Sacramento office, so I had to either self represent myself or find a new law firm. I ended up self representing and finalizing my divorce within 6 months and they weren't able to do that within the 2 years I had them as my attorney. This law firm is highly unprofessional and not worth the money I paid. I also asked for a copy of my case file and still have yet to receive it a year later (which is illegal, as they are required by law to give me a copy of my file when requested) STAY AWAY AND DO NOT USE THIS LAW FIRM
